Understanding How Heat Moves in Homes
Heat in homes moves from warmer areas to cooler areas due to the laws of thermodynamics. Energy is always on the move, especially when there's a difference in temperature. The greater the temperature difference, the faster heat energy moves through the fabric of a building. By designing systems with an understanding of temperature differentials, engineers can efficiently heat homes and consider external temperature impacts on heat transfer.
